Families of inmates ask for internal investigation of Bexar County Detention Center

At the steps of the Bexar County Adult Detention Center, former convicts and families of currently incarcerated people met to demand an internal investigation in relation to the rising death toll of inmates at the facility.

All of Us or None, a national grassroots civil rights organization, lead Saturday’s protest in hopes to address the challenges inside the jail.

During 2019, deaths inside the Bexar County Jail were linked to medical complications and suicide, and one to homicide.

“While they were here (at the jail), there were so many things that could have been done to prevent that loss of life,” Steven Huerta, All of Us or None San Antonio executive director, said.
